My son has let the moths out of his wallet and bought a more modern (used) computer off TM. It is going just fine but when he tries to play Video DvDs Windows tells him he needs a video decoder. He is baffled by the range he sees when doing a search, so what would you recommend that he download?

Cheers

1174194 2011-02-01 02:20:00 K-lite codecs are the best to get and it would help if you said what Windows version and if it is 32 bit or 64 bit. Snorkbox (15764)

1174196 2011-02-01 02:44:00 VLC or media player classic, both are free and rarely need any extra codecs and so much better than Windows media player gary67 (56)

1174202 2011-02-02 01:15:00 The newer versions of vlc can use the gpu to play videos instead of the cpu. Noticed it a bit in my pc even though it only has a 4670. nedkelly (9059)
